PG, the koala killer, burly and I went for a hike around the boy scout trail (we were going to check out the climbs but burly refused to cross the bridge) and it was quite nice.

PG and Kudjo, but no Doc?

I am busily burning my retinas out in a dusty archive.

Awesomeness.

Speaking of academia, just heard from a friend of mine, the one who scooped me for this history prize. We both applied for awl teh same jorbs. He didn't get any interviews either. Getting pretty sick of this hole academic pyramid scheme.

There iz probibly a Mc D's that's hiring down in SD.

Please. It's knot what you know, its hoo yoo no. And we have an asiant on the inside of Jack n' teh Bawks.

See Eye! There is a chance I may be coming out to the Bhey area for some interviews in early March. Any chance of couch-crashing/beer drinking/maybe even some climbzings?

sure, I'll be around. You can stay at our place if you like. We have 3 cars too so you can roll deep in the MoleStar.

show him the local shit.

the beav.

har. We'll have to see what the weather is doing.

it'd be cool to take him out to the GW, or hell, maybe we could squeeze a quik trip to the Sokat SartinCrags.

no DTSA Highly Published Area?

hard to say, snupe, hard to say...

the Highly Published Area would be a decent call if it's one day and it hasn't rained for a week. And it's a weekend.

If its weekday one day, GW would be fun and camhed luvz soft grade permadraw caked in chalk onzends.

If we had 3 days Sartintewth and environz could be fun.

We'll see. The conference is mostly on Friday, so I'd ideally have both Sat and Sun to climb the climbz. I'd be cool for wherever. Although, i will almost certainly be getting back into it by that point.

no better place to get back into it than teh hole. It's only 6 hourz or so.

it has a similar geometry to Kinetix Columbus. Kampaul might do pretty well down there, even gimpped out.

We'll get him a cane trekking pole and he'll get in there and zend teh warmup.

Cept, since teh clamhed iz such a big stud... hangs oft teh smallest pockets with a zillion pounds and teh cast, I thinks we shood lie to him. Send him on teh Smash and Grab and tell 'em it's teh Warm Up.

Awl I know is that I' predicting that this spring I'll be scared of trad and of hitting things when I fall. So, I'm seeing a lot of steep cave climbing and REALLY soft catches in my future.

Climbed last night with J-z-boi from gruppe boi tawk. had fun. Really nice not to be pulled off the ground too much-- he s i125 soaking wet. Then I got hangbored. Then went out for dinner, and had more fun.

J-z-boi might be another Tony, but he is a fun tony at the moment. (Why do I attract the toniez, oh why?) Anyway, he might not be a tony. I can haz hopez, right? And he seems siked on climbing at teh moment, and pretty gud at it, despite not climbing for a year. But he is also siked on riding a tandem bike with a guy he just met all the way to NYC. Starting in January. Because the guy is riding across-country for the second time in a row, and it is cool.

Me, I think it is more freezing cold than cool to ride a bike from Cle to NYC in January, but I am unreasonable that way.

Solstice celebration tonight with hefe and the kidlings. Lots of candles and yummy crepes involved. Hope the house doesn't burn down.

Of all the great routes you could ride in the US, I think that Cleveland to NYC in January is one of the werst. Right up there with LA to Honolulu.

I think I know which boi you are talking about in grupe, but what does the Z stand for?
